Engine 143 |
| Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line |
| Running o’er the C. n’O Road |
| Just 20 minutes behind |
| Running into Souville headquarters on the line |
| Receiving their strict orders |
| From a station just behind |
| Up the road she darted |
| Against the rock she crushed |
| Upside down the engine turned |
| And Georgie’s breast did smash |
| His head was against the firebox door |
| The flames were rolling high |
| «I'm glad I’m gonna be an engineer on the C. n’O Road to die.» |
| The doctor said to Georgie |
| My darling boy be still |
| Your life may yet be saved |
| If it is, God bless it will |
| Oh, no, said George that will not due |
| I want to die for free |
| I want to die for the engine I love |
| One hundred and forty three |
| Announcer: That’s fine that was little 10 year old June singing for you. |
| And what was the name of that number now? |
| June: I was just going to sing Engine 143. |
